Success Stories The Tooth and Body Connection Michael G. Rehme D.D.S., P.C. 2821 North Ballas Road – Suite #245 Saint Louis, Missouri 63131 314-997-2550 Sixth Edition Introduction For more than 20 years, I have had the unique opportunity to experience first hand, what the significance of the oral cavity has to do with the body’s relationship to our overall health and wellness. There seems to be a growing recognition among some dentist and other health care providers that dental problems such as cavities, infections, toxic or allergy-producing filling materials, root canals, and misalignment of the teeth or jaw can have far-reaching affects through out the body. With this in mind, it only made sense to ask my patients to help evaluate and record any changes in their health conditions once the fundamental principles of biologic dentistry were applied to their own personal situations. It is important to point out however, that most patients receiving treatment in our office are also being treated by other health care professionals to support and strengthen their entire body in order to achieve optimal health. I believe that addressing the dental issues are important, but remember not to neglect the rest of the body if you want to experience maximum benefits for yourself. The following testimonials were written by my patients, in their own words, once their dental treatment was completed. Although no guarantees or promises can be made in regards to patients’ outcome, the health improvements that are noted here are both inspirational and helpful for others who may be searching for answers to health questions that still remain unresolved. To your good health, Michael G. Rehme D.D.S Amalgam Fillings (Mercury Fillings) 1.

Date: 03/01/00 Name: Vince 44, White, Male Since completing amalgam removal and DMPS treatment my lower back pain is all but gone! My herbalist had told me every time I saw her for back pain that my kidneys were very low in energy. She would give me herbs for the kidneys with great relief to my lower back pain. I believe metal toxicity in the kidneys may have had very much to do with my back problems. Since after just the first DMPS treatment I noticed significant improvement in my lower back pain. I tested very high in mercury toxicity when a metals test was performed for me. My candida yeast overgrowth seems to be getting better with every day that goes by. Thank you so much for doing the amalgam removal that you believe in. I am also a believer now. Thanks again, Gratefully 3. Date 02/17/00 Name: Yvonne 60, White, Female Prior to getting rid of the greatest mercury problems, upper and lower right teeth; I was getting sluggish by 3-4 p.m. I have always been known for my limitless energy and never felt “tired” during the day – until the last several years. Further, I had trouble sleeping when I did go to bed, regardless of the time. There was a “taste” of metal in my mouth. After the initial replacement my energy level increased dramatically. There is now no metallic taste at all and I am sleeping well whether I go to bed early or late. I seldom fall asleep during movies or theater performances anymore. - 2 - I know I still have a ways to go, but I am thrilled with my progress. P.S. Migraine headaches began about 2 years ago, coming about 1 or 2 times per month. I have not had one since the filling replacement. 4. Date: 8/16/00 Name: Ann 48, White, Female The removal of my fillings has given me more stamina. As a mother of 5 kids, there has been a noticeable difference in my energy level. I think it will even be more noticeable when I get more DMPS treatments to remove the mercury on a cellular level and when all of the permanent dental work is in and my teeth have settled down. I think a follow up in six months would give you a more accurate accounting of the real results. 5. Date: 06/02/00 Name: Carolyn 64, White, Female The most obvious change for me was the return of stamina and energy. I felt like my old self. However, as I went through the check list I also realized that irritability that I had associated with stress has all but disappeared. That realization makes great sense to me because the stress has not decreased. 6. Date: 06/30/00 Name: Connie 48, White, Female Within two weeks of having the first quadrant done, my mother noticed I was not clearing my throat as much as usual. I experienced almost immediately a lessening of my allergies. I’m not blowing my nose as much. I have not taken any antihistamines every day like I used to. The left side of the base of my head was less sore, even the day of the removal. My left temple was sore. There was a significant reduction in the amount of mucus my sinuses usually secrete. Then about two weeks ago, I realized that I hadn’t had to take something for a headache for at least a week! There has rarely been a day in the last 10 years that I have taken Tylenol, Ibuprofen, aspirin, etc., for the daily headache I used to experience. In fact, that is why I have to rotate the remedies. I guess I build up a tolerance to them over extended use. All these changes have happened over the last 4 months. I am looking forward to the next round, when all the mercury is gone. 7. Date: 10/07/00 Name: Beverly 52, White, Female For the first time in my life, I can honestly say that after undergoing extensive dental treatment I am feeling well. Previously, I had gone through two regimens of dental treatment at two area dental schools. After the first, I was diagnosed with severe depression and began to suffer recurrent bouts of bronchitis. After the second, I developed acute anxiety and paranoia, a sclerosis of the cornea (shadow vision) which made it impossible to do any extensive reading, contact dermatitis (which prevented one from wearing jewelry), and severe pet allergies. - 3 - One year ago, I found that I was suffering from acute mercury toxicity. Several upper molars that had shattered around their mercury amalgams where replaced with more compatible materials. My mercury levels were reduced with DMPS IV’s to a level where I can now take DMSA orally. I am continuing to take vitamin and mineral supplements and am still doing periodic liver-gallbladder flushes. Since beginning treatment with alternative medicine and biological dentistry, I have not had a single bout of bronchitis, I no longer suffer anxiety or depression, I am able to wear jewelry without breaking out and not only has my shadow vision improved to the point that I can now safely drive at night, but I can even sometimes read without my glasses- for the first time since 6th grade! My pet allergies are even a little better. My students no longer complain about my illegible handwriting. We are about half way through the treatment program. I am very optimistic about my full recovery. The AMA and ADA approved treatments I received almost ruined my health and my life. 8. Date: 3/01/00 Name: Blaine 30, White, Male I have seen a gradual reduction in many of my symptoms since I had my mercury/amalgam fillings removed. These physical symptoms still persist: dizziness, fatigue, muscle tremor, numbness/tingling, pain in limbs, and weakness (muscle). These mental symptoms still persist: discouragement and insomnia. Food allergies are still some of my most troubling symptoms. However, they are not as severe as they were a year ago. Symptoms that are completely gone include chest pains and rashes. Also, I have much less brain “fog”. I am still undergoing treatment to remove mercury from my body. I was found to be off the chart with mercury toxicity. Today, I’m having my last amalgam removed. It is very small. All the others were taken out late last summer and during the fall. 9. Date: 02/01/00 Name: Benedict 66, White, Male During this last year I have had all of my amalgam fillings removed, to include the replacement of seven crowns (six of which had amalgams underneath). I urgently advise everyone to have the amalgam removed from his or her fillings and crowns. I have already witnessed substantial progress in my health. Along with chelation therapy, a substantially changed diet, and the use of diet supplements, I have experienced increased energy and the absence of illness (colds, flu, etc.). In my diet, I have essentially eliminated the use of sugar, sweets, white bread and refined carbohydrates. 10. Date: 02/04/00 Name: Judy 45, White, Female - 4 - My mouth just doesn’t feel good.
